On the recordSeptember 11, 1997
I agree that osteoporosis should be the focus of aggressive detection, prevention and treatment activities. We owe it to our own and future generations to tackle the root cause of so much injury and debilitation in later life, and to reduce the growing financial burden it imposes on individuals and the public alike. I agree that NIAMS and AHCPR should pursue, within the funds provided, strategies to detect, prevent, and treat osteoporosis in both women and men, and I look forward to working with the conferees to include such language in the conference report.
